On the other hand, if scsi scanners are still being made, you might give 
one a try.  I have a UMAX  Astra 1220S scanner which works very well 
with both Linux and  the dark side.  I got it at Fry's a few years ago 
for under $50 (Probably unsellable remainders from somewhere else.) and 
to be fair, the supplied scsi card didn't work and I had to purchase a 
generic scsi card for almost as much as the scanner cost. However, I 
still have it and it's still chugging along doing great work.
